According to the inscription in the upper panel of this manuscript leaf, Walters W.713, the painting depicts the Safavid ruler Shah 'Abbas I (reigned 996 AH/AD 1588-1038 AH/AD 1629). It was likely produced in India in the twelfth century AH/AD 18th. The Safavid ruler is shown in a stylized landscape. On the verso of the leaf is a sample of calligraphy in Nasta'liq script quoting verses by the Persian poet Sa'di Shirazi (died 691 AH/AD 1292). These verses were executed in Samarqand by Muhammad Amin ibn Baba Jan in 990 AH/AD 1582-1583.
